Initial Operation

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not cause damage to the battery.
The battery is protected against deep discharging.
When the battery is discharged, the machine will stop.

Battery Charging

(see figures A and C)
Note: The micro-USB port (18) for connection of the microUSB cable (16) is in the handle.
When the battery charge is low, the charger level indicator (4) flashes green.
When the charger level indicator (4) flashes red, the battery must be charged. Switch the machine off and charge the battery.
Connect the machine to the charger (17) using the microUSB cable (16). Plug the charger (17) into the socket. The charging process begins.
During the charging procedure, the handle of the machine warms up. This is normal.
The charger level indicator (4) continuously lights up red during the charging procedure. When the battery is fully charged, the charger level indicator (4) continuously lights up green.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when charging process ends.

Troubleshooting

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

(see figures J–K)


Always clean the product thoroughly after use.
Remove the suction head from the main body and rinse.
Whilst suction head (2) is removed from the machine, fill the dirty water tank (7) via the suction head aperture to the max line with clean, warm water. DO NOT fill the dirty water tank (7) via the drain hole. Shake the machine and pour the water out via the drain plug(8).

Maintenance of the suction head
Protect the suction head against damage during storage. Prevent the wiper blade from touching paper or cardboard, as this could damage the wiper blades polymer coating. Spots or lines may be visible on the polymer coating. This is normal and does not affect the cleaning performance.

Textiles
Microfiber cloths: 67% polyester, 14% polyamide, 19% polypropylene
